Replant guidance. If you planted soybeans when it was a bit sticky, or if you got plastered by hard rains, and very few came up, then it’s a no-brainer – you will need to replant. However, if you have a stand that’s just not what you want, then you ought to think about replanting more carefully.

Plant stress impact on yield

The soybean plant is susceptible to yield loss from water deficit or drought stress at two key stages--germination and reproduction-seed development. Soybean must imbibe about 50% of its weight in water to germinate and begin to develop the radicle and hypocotyl, the primary root and shoot tissues. Seed planted into dry soil, or not placed into the soil, will be unable to imbibe water at all until adequate precipitation has occurred.

Soil health

Planting soybeans 1 to 1.5 inches deep in a dry seedbed are key factors in successful stand establishment. While seed treatments to manage insect and disease pressure from early planting are beneficial, they are not a substitute for poor soil conditions. Early-season soybean growth and development have direct correlation to final-season yield.
